A Sportsman Talking to his Beater after Coursing (Primary Title)
W. J. Pringle, English, active 1834-1845 (Artist)
This picture presents an ideal vision of a sportsman and his servant relaxing and enjoying friendly conversation at the conclusion of their common endeavor. In coursing, the quarry is hare rather than fox, and the animals are pursued with greyhounds who hunt by sight instead of scent.
